Hello,

While doing

   context foo

I do get

What should I do to get beyond that error message?

I'm using Debian on an AMD64, context package is version 2009.11.26-2

way too old .. luatex as well as context moved on (and luatools in no longer used)

FWIW, I get the same error message on my TL2010 installation.

$luatex --version
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.67.0-2011042320 (rev 4192)

$context --version
MTXrun | main context file: /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.tex

$context --make

I am pretty sure that ConTeXt in TL2010 was working at some stage and failed after I updated. I normally just use the minimals, so I never bothered to dig into this.
